There was something noisy in the square outside the shed. The delay in news made people outside not even aware that the political decision-making process in the shed had entered a new stage.
In fact, Shan Tonghai's sneer did not sway Li Shu at all.
As a top nobleman from Guanlong who has received a complete military, political, spiritual and cultural education, he once herded cattle outside the Western Capital City, stood guard inside the Eastern Capital City, played chess beside the Three-Glory Pillar, followed the Zhong family in the world, rebelled and went into exile. I have traveled overseas, crossed Heji, and now that I have reached my age, what have I not experienced? What haven’t you seen?
Therefore, when he saw the form that had obviously temporarily changed the name of the specific leader but the left and right wings were definitely written early in the morning, he had already started making calculations in his mind.
Li Shu knew very well that he was unlikely to take advantage of today's leadership decision, even in the face of such a request.
However, unlike Xu Shiying's understanding, this leader never thought that Zhang Xing relied on something to tell the public to gain an absolute advantage. That kind of thing was just a little bit more sophisticated. What really made Zhang Xing unstoppable today was others. Having won the Battle of Lishan, the victor has the right to obtain the spoils of war, both internally and externally.
In this case, we should firmly grasp the overall situation that everyone is looking forward to the Second Eastern Expedition to devour the land of the six counties. Everything should revolve around the excuse of "the gang is within the gang and the public is within the gang", and then we will deal with specific matters in detail, and try our best to give everyone If the bread is divided roundly, who can disobey Him?
He couldn't do it, Xu Shiying couldn't do it, Xiong Bonan couldn't do it, and Shan Tonghai couldn't do it.
It might work together, but there is no such opportunity... It's not that there is little time for private contact, but that there is no basis for private alliances and transactions.
Do you want to oppose Chai Xiaohe's advancement, even if Chai Xiaohe has a vague tendency to get closer to Zhang Xing? Are we opposed to weakening the big leaders and leaders and concentrating the personnel power of practitioners in the top three groups? Are you kidding me?
Other questions are similar to others. It's not that everyone is stupid enough to be defeated by Zhang Xing one by one, but that they simply can't refuse the arrangements of Zhang Dalongtou who has taken the initiative on specific issues... Although this guy is young, his political skills are so mature that it makes people feel distressed, and he doesn't know how young he is. What did you go through, or who helped you?
However, Li Shu also didn't feel angry or helpless, because he had seen too many similar scenes and too many similar people. They seemed to be arrogant, invincible and wanton, but the dissatisfaction and anger from others It won't disappear easily, it will just hide and then sooner or later it will explode.
Li Dalongtou is even very, very happy to see Zhang Xing come forward to accomplish some things, such as the most important matter of seizing the personnel rights of practitioners. The grievances and dissatisfaction of all the big bosses and leaders will not just pass away. They Will be resentful, and the object of resentment is Zhang Xing, but he, Li Shu, can enjoy the results without being resented.
In a sense, this kid is still drifting, or in other words, he has returned to his own prediction.
In short, after many thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Shu quickly made a decision - he couldn't do anything, but he had to be neither humble nor arrogant, and show a sufficient attitude. Only when the tiger falls and the sun does not fall, can people believe that he can make a comeback.
As soon as he thought of this, the big leader immediately spoke slowly: "Zhang Sanlang wants to move to the left wing and command the Eastern Expedition. I don't want to care about personal gain, but there are some things that Zhang Sanlang needs to discuss... You If you want to lead the Second Eastern Expedition, do you have a strategy? If you want to take over, do you have an overall plan?"
More than ten people present looked at Zhang Xing together.
"There are some strategies for the front and rear that I want to share with you in detail." As he spoke, Zhang Xing took out a few more pieces of paper from his Liuhe boots... He was not afraid of getting wet with sweat.
Seeing this, everyone else, except Bai Yousi, was a little confused. Even Li Shu, who had previously thought about the power of his family, country, and the world, was also a little confused.
"I have a general policy for the Second Eastern Expedition. In addition to some previous established strategies, I also have a serious and in-depth idea about the overall governance." Zhang Xing looked at the paper in his hand and spoke seriously. "For example, regarding the Eastern Expedition, I think we must first establish a few principles..."
There was silence.
"The first thing is to distinguish the priorities. Key cities, important ferry markets, warehouses with supplies, famous mines, and the two passages along Jishui and the river are the main targets; the others are secondary. We should act based on the advancement of the main goal, rather than thinking of swarming around when we see a place."
"This is natural." Taoist Wei seemed to have come to his senses and suddenly spoke.
Several other people, even Shan Tonghai, nodded one after another, but they didn't know whether they really listened or just recovered to cover up their embarrassment.
"The second thing is to distinguish reality from reality." Zhang Xing also nodded and continued to talk. "The Battle of Lishan has only been more than ten days, and the news has just spread. Many places are empty and unorganized places. These places are empty, and they can be attacked like wildfire, leaving them unable to react and have no time to attack. Yes, you can also send a message first, asking the local area to maintain order first; and in some places, not only Langya and Dengzhou but also Qi County, there are still many officers and soldiers, powerful, defeated soldiers, and bandits in many other places. Of course, there are also Including other rebels, this is reality, and we must avoid reality and avoid reality appropriately."
"Avoiding the truth and pretending...Longtou, isn't there something wrong with this?" Wang Shuyong suddenly couldn't help but speak. "Are we still trying to avoid them?"
"Avoiding reality is not to avoid war, but to find out their attitude and take targeted measures to avoid future troubles." Zhang Xing explained immediately. "Even if it is true, many places can be decided by propaganda. There is no need to use swords and guns. The only ones we want to attack, eliminate and annex with thunder are opponents or die-hards with bad attitudes. In addition, it is more important. Yes, we are the rebels, and we need to assume the role of leader of the rebel alliance. It is one thing for the officers and soldiers, but it is another attitude for the rebels. Especially the rebels, we must be benevolent and uphold our principles... To make it clear, We must show all our loyalty, even if we send gifts out of the country, there is no problem, but if we really want to deceive and cause harm, then we must fight to the end without mercy!"
"That's the truth!" Xiong Bonan suddenly expressed his position loudly. "We are the leaders of the rebel army. We are going to lead the big guys to fight against Wei. We are not just bandits grabbing territory. We must treat other rebels who fight against Wei with courtesy first and then attack with force..."
"But you have to explain it in a clear way." Wang Shuyong quickly reminded. "No matter what, the Eastern Territory belongs to us. If you stay here, you will have to join the Deposed Dragon Gang and reorganize it according to our rules."
"That's the truth." Zhai Qian also spoke up immediately, taking the initiative to express his attitude for the first time today. "And if you want to leave, you can't take too many things with you, you can't plunder the treasury, you can't collect money temporarily, and you can't take away craftsmen and strong men."
"We have to set some rules." Xu Shiying couldn't help but interject. "It is absolutely intolerable to kill people and set fire to massacre the city, and we cannot allow these thieves to escape under the banner of rebels."
"That's what I mean." Zhang Xing held the paper in his hand and raised his hand. "But to do this, we must not only talk about what happened to the other party, but also ourselves, about the acceptance process, about the enforcement of the law, and about the analysis of right and wrong. Otherwise, we would also be killing people, setting fires, and looting randomly. How can we criticize others? Here, there are rules. They are unified, such as flat land tax, debt burning, and peace of mind along the way. I will talk about it later, but it is not a matter of analysis. Deciding which knot can be kept, which one must be disposed of, and which one can be sent out as a gift can be set first. A department that specializes in research and judgment...King Xiongtian, this matter belongs to you."
Xiong Bonan was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Okay, I am willing to accept this responsibility."
"As for the supervision of military discipline enforcement, King Xiongtian still has to take charge. Even if we are inseparable, we must instruct Zhang Jinshu and Liu Zhouchen to divide their responsibilities, and then report to you, and implement them through your hands." Zhang Xing Keep talking. "There are some things that only if you come forward can everyone be convinced... Zhang Jinshu is in charge of the local area, and Liu Zhouchen is in charge of the military."
"Of course you can." Xiong Bonan instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it he agreed, and then asked seriously. "Then what are Wei Gong and Bai Nvxia going to do?"
"Wei Gong, I want him to be independently responsible for the food protection and autumn harvest issues of the entire Eastern Territory." Zhang Xing was still prepared. "Food is a big thing, and it is also a top priority in the Eastern Expedition...We were able to win in Lishan because we saved the treasury and protected the grain during the campaign last year. This is the basis for victory! Now the crops are It is already waist deep. The two counties on the western front are full of millet and will mature in more than a month. However, the counties in the east are not growing millet everywhere. It is likely to mature next month, which is when we march. At this time, there must be someone who can coordinate and order the army and the local government to protect the food when taking over the treasury, and at the same time promote and protect the autumn harvest."
With that said, Zhang Xing looked at Wei Xuanding, and looked over with others: "Wei Gong, this matter is very important, but to be honest, it is also very complicated. Can I trouble you? You choose the manpower yourself!"
"I..." Taoist Wei opened his mouth. He was unexpectedly panicked, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded. "I try my best."
Obviously, Wei Xuanding did not dislike this hard job. On the contrary, he knew that this was Zhang Xing's way of repaying his long-term support as the chief short seller, because he had always lacked an independent and decent job and credit. It's just that this is the first time he has received an independent responsibility, so he can't help but feel a little panicked.
"What about Bai Nuxia?" Wei Xuanding's jam made Xu Shiying, who was quick to react, the first to come to his senses. His mind changed slightly, but he looked at Bai Yousi again.
"I want Chief Bai to do another thing." Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want to speak here, but he finally spoke. "I want her to go with the army to collect orphans from the war first. After the autumn harvest, I want to mobilize all the young people of school age in the territory to collectively build the foundation over the winter!"
There was more and more commotion outside, but under the thatched shed, the surroundings were obviously stagnant. Bai Yousi, including Bai Yousi, was a little stunned. Apparently there was no communication in advance... But soon, the latter became thoughtful.
"Is it useful?" Li Shu, who had been silent for a long time and watched Zhang Xing's continuous performance, suddenly asked seriously. "How much does it cost?"
Zhang Xing then asked for words.
"I'm not opposed to letting Sisi gather some talented orphans to build foundations. Children who are twelve or thirteen years old, after building foundations and teaching some things by the way, will be able to work for the gang in two or three years, and the world will be in chaos. It can be regarded as doing a good deed. In fact, every family in Guanlong has some similar adopted sons." Li Shu immediately explained again. "Here in the East, the imperial court has always been vigilant, but if you look at those who have manors at home, they also have some similar adopted sons. So, I really don't object to bringing a group of people in the name of the gang. But they are a minority. A few people or dozens of people, because even with such a meticulous plan, there are very few people who actually reach adulthood and have a positive effect."
"I know." Zhang Xing replied immediately. "After a hundred days of foundation building, 99% of the people were left there because the Zhengmai was too tiring and time-consuming. Xu Dalang and I calculated that in the past, in peacetime, it was the most difficult and most difficult time for people to work. For a true practitioner who has persisted in polishing his body for several years or more than ten years and worked up the correct meridians to achieve results, a county here in the East Region only has two or three hundred. To put it bluntly, there are not enough living resources, and poor families cannot support real practitioners. As a practitioner, getting through it is no different from reading and reading to figure out the clues.”
"That's what it means." Xu Shiying said uneasily on the side. "Since Third Brother knows, why don't you gather some young people together instead of asking all the young people from all counties to build the foundation? If you feel that the number is insufficient or something, expand more. One thousand people will be enough, right? Two thousand people, one thousand people, at best?" Teach reading and use a thousand people to build the foundation... Is this the most effective method for the gang?"
"I know, I know." Facing Xu Shiying, Zhang Xing was obviously a little impatient. "I know what Li Gong said, and I also know what Xu Dalang said... I know that in terms of effect, this is not appropriate as it is not concentrating some orphans; I also know that this kind of nationwide foundation-building behavior is not conducive to the The gang has unified control over the practitioners; and such a large-scale war is bound to cause chaos. The people themselves will only wonder what we mean by taking away their children... But so what?
"When I was buried in Lishan, I made some exaggerated remarks, saying that the rebellion was for this reason... This is exactly the case! I rebelled just to do these things! I not only want these children to build foundations , I also want them to recognize a word. It is one thing to learn well but not well, but there are those who are really willing to work hard. As Li Gong said, troubled times are just around the corner. When something happens in the future, people can't help themselves but still have the ability to do something. A new path.
"I'll say it again, I'm not doing these things to depose the Dragon Gang, but to establish the Deposed Dragon Gang precisely for this purpose!
"This is An Tianxia in my eyes!"
Xu Shiying kept silent for a long time, thinking deeply, and the others were also silent.
Bai Yousi, on the other hand, said decisively after a moment: "I am happy to do this!"
Looking at this scene, others had not thought much about it. Li Shu's heart moved slightly, but he suddenly realized that this was probably his best opportunity today. He took advantage of the moment when everyone had the most doubts about Zhang Xing to vote immediately. It might work wonders.
Think of it and do it.
Li Shu immediately spoke: "Having said that, what else is there to say? Everyone, I have probably finished listening to Zhang Sanlang's calculations, and I do have my own set of ideas... In that case, just raise your hands! I First of all, although I was defeated in an eastern expedition, I still wanted to avenge my shame. Therefore, although I agree with Zhang Sanlang’s calculations, forgive me for not agreeing... I object!"
"I am the initiator and I agree." Zhang Xing took it without hesitation.
"I agree..." Wei Xuanding hesitated for a moment, obviously sorting out his thoughts before following.
"I... agree." Xiong Bonan hesitated even more. "I have to make it clear that I recognize some of Zhang Longtou's strategies, but I have not thought clearly about some of them. Moreover, I think it is a bit unloyal to change the left and right positions after winning the battle... But overall, I think Zhang Longtou's strategies are He is well prepared and more suitable to lead the Second Eastern Expedition."
Li Shu smiled slightly and nodded towards the Purple Faced King, suppressing the unnecessary disappointment in his heart.
"I object." Shan Tonghai didn't have any extra explanation. He became much more straightforward since he knew the content of this issue and knew that he would not become a joke today. "
"I agree." Bai Yousi followed immediately and added by the way. “I want to do this!”
"I object." Zu Chenyan spoke first, overcoming Wang Shuyong and Xu Shiying, who were obviously doubtful.
"I object too." Xu and Wang were still silent for a long time. Chai Xiaohe turned his eyes from the two groups of people and hesitated for a long time before expressing his stance. The imprint of Li Shu was still quite deep on him.
"I agree." Unexpectedly, after the number of opponents increased significantly, Wang Shuyong made up his mind.
The reason is self-evident. Since Chai Xiaohe chose to go through all kinds of difficulties and continue to support the original faction leader Li Shu, Wang Shuyong cannot be the person who betrayed Zhang Sange's loyalty. Although he was a little uneasy about some of Zhang Xing's policies, he still decided to support Zhang Sange. OK.
So far, it's actually five versus four.
It seems that Zhang Xing's overly strong posture, complicated Eastern Expedition rules, and final willful posture have caused dissatisfaction among quite a few people. More importantly, this is the most direct personnel competition. Zhang Xing wants to be more powerful. There was further confrontation among the personnel groups, so both Chai Xiaohe and Zu Chenyan still chose Li Shu.
There were three other people on the scene, Xu Shiying, Zhai Qian and Wang Zhuo, who did not express their stance.
Among them, the most important one is obviously Xu Shiying, not only in terms of strength and status... but also Zhai Qian, who has been so panicked that he is staring at this person. The latter does not dare to show too much responsibility in this kind of thing, especially He was going to make a crucial move, so he didn't dare to express his position first, and he was also afraid that Xu Shiying would completely mess up the situation.
"I...give up."
Xu Dalang, who realized that he had delayed for too long, gave a choice that disappointed almost everyone, but many people quickly accepted it.
Zhang Xing also looked at the other party in confusion, forcing Xu Dalang to turn his head.
"I agree." Wang Zhuo almost didn't stop for a moment and made his move.
"Of course I agree." Zhai Qian was relieved and hurried to follow.
"Seven to four...the matter passed." Wei Xuanding was relieved. "Ask leader Zhang Jinshu to come and list the new members of the gang."
"Not only this matter, but also several other matters that were agreed upon later were copied and posted one by one."
Zhang Xing withdrew his gaze from Xu Dalang and regained his composure almost immediately... He immediately realized that he had overestimated his influence. Xu Dalang did not simply choose to become his follower, or that this person was particularly smart, and it was very possible that Through this, he noticed some deviant expressions behind his own strategy, and began to fear Zhang Xing's idealism. Of course, it might be that he was overthinking it... In short, the newly appointed left-wing leader Zhang Xing was able to make up for himself on the spot. Got a reflection coupon.
"Are there any more? Does anyone else have any big plans? What I mean is that if not, after these posts are posted one by one, we will call the leaders to hold a meeting to discuss the details of various affairs. Spread out and discuss with them...We’ll settle the matter today, and we’ll march tomorrow!”
Everyone looked at each other, and Xu Dalang, who had already begun to regret, was the first to speak: "Everything will be done according to Third Brother's orders."
His eyes had already turned to Bai Yousi who was smiling at him. Zhang Xing was just here to laugh... As he said, this was what he wanted to do and it was the ultimate goal. How could he be judged just because of who supported and who opposed? Change your tune?
He just wants to do this, even if the Supreme Being descends to earth, he can't stop him.
PS: Good night everyone.
